Cardiomegaly SC 2019

[Keeper27]

A few adjustments to take it closer to a guns and rooks approach.  Still tossing up between Libba and Miles or drop down for an extra rook.  Currently have 180K in the bank to make adjustments if more money needs to be spent.

DEF: Lloyd, Witherden, Williams, Collins, Burgess, Wing (Duursma, Kelly)
MID: Cripps, Oliver, Fyfe, Neale, Dusty, Miles, Lately, Bewley (Hind, Hayes, Atkins)
RUC: Grundy, Goldy (Fort)
FOR: Danger, Dev, Wingard, Setterfield, Hill, Cavarra (Corbett, Petrucelle)

Now to sit and play the waiting game.

Love the setup
I have a similar setup with minor changes
I have Roberton and Greene at D4 and  F4  and a few differences in the premium  selections between  M1-M4
Love it. HOLD

[jvalles69]

More minor changes.  40K left.  Have strengthened DEF and FOR by downgrading Goldy to Darcy and Miles to Walsh.

DEF: Lloyd, Witherden, Williams, Smith, Collins, Quaynor (Duursma, McKay)
MID: Cripps, Fyfe, Neale, Dusty, Zerrett, Walsh, Gibbons, Bewley (Lately, Hind, Hayes)
RUC: Grundy, Darcy (Fort)
FOR: Dangerfield, Heeney, Gray, Greene, Setterfield, Burgess (Petrucelle, Cavarra)

[jvalles69]

New changes and I think I'm getting close to almost there! 78K in the bank.  Libba is till tempting too.

DEF: Laird, Lloyd, Williams, Roberton, Collins, Quaynor (Duursma, Hore)
MID: Macrae, Cripps, Oliver, Fyfe, B. Crouch, Walsh, Butters, Hately (Hind, Bewley, Gibbons)
RUC: Grundy, Goldy (Clarke)
FOR: Danger, Heeney, Greene, Setterfield, Drew, Balta (Burgess, Petrucelle)

Pretty good team!!! Can’t really fault it.

If Libba goes 100+ again you almost have to start him I reckon.

Still like Witherden, Neale and Libba so working out the best options.  If I go Lloyd to Witherden, Macrae back to Neale I could probably move Walsh (or another rook) to Libba.

[jvalles69]

I feel like I'm getting closer. 48K in the bank.

DEF: Lloyd, Williams, Newman, Smith. Collins, Clark (Duursma, Hore)
MID: Macrae, Cripps, Fyfe, Neale, B. Crouch, Libba, Butters, Constable (Hind, Hayes, Gibbons)
RUC: Grundy, Gawn (Clarke)
FOR: Danger, Heeney, Greene, Setterfield, Drew, Balta (Petrucelle, Burgess)

Time to sit on this and wait for teams.

[Mat0369]

Just throwing out a hypothetical, if Greene was to get injured or cop a three week ban in the first few weeks, who would you trade him to?

I feel the forward rookies aren't very deep and sitting Greene at F3 means you're going to have to likely field 4 of them if it all turns pear shaped. I think you have reasonable options along the other lines if a Libba/Newman/Smith were to flop. Just not sure about the forward line though.

Good points, need to sit as Ringo said as I've already made more changes!  ::)

Aren't you a little nervous about Newman after JLT2? Simpson decided to take it seriously and stole all his points.

[sammy123]

Good team. Not sold on newman i would get a premo or go cheaper with a ridley/moore. Also not sure about greene. Can score well but is also an idiot

[jvalles69]

Newman has come in and out of the team, he is currently out though, can't trust him after that 2nd JLT.  Think he'll still be ok, but better for AF.

agree with this.    hoping he keeps his elbow, fist and other assorted limbs to himself this year.   

[jvalles69]

Another crack.  Have 210K spare so let me know where you think it would be best used, if there are any rookies I should look at changing over.  Pretty close to settles on this, mid premos might move around a little.  I'm considering Keepers are Lloyd, Laird, 1 of Williams/Smith, Macrae, Cripps, Neale, Grundy, Gawn, Danger, Heeney, Greene, possibly 1 of B. Crouch/Liberatore.  Gives me 11-13 keepers.  10 trades for downgrades, 10 trades for upgrades (in a perfect world).  Possibly thinking I could use the extra 210K to bump Brad up to another keeper mid, but injury worries aside, think he can produce close enough to a keeper for at least the early stages.

DEF: Lloyd, Laird, Williams, Smith, Collins, Burgess (Duursma, Hore)
MID: Macrae, Cripps, Neale, B. Crouch, Liberatore, Walsh, Butters, Constable (Hind, Hayes, Gibbons)
RUC: Grundy, Gawn (Sweet)
FOR: Danger, Heeney, Greene, Moore, Setterfield, Drew (Petrucelle, Balta)

Personally do not like Macrae - Prior to last year only averaged 100 over the previous 4 years. No coincidence he shot up with Libba not playing last year so concerned he may fall back to those smaller averages. Upgrade for me.
Your team though I would downgrade Macrae to Oliver, Fyfe or similar and then upgrade Libba to a prem with the 210 plus extra. Think a little risky with both Libba and Crouch.
For cheap rookies would also be looking at Atkins and Scott both mids at 117k if named.
